Evaluation of reliability and radiation dose reduction in coronary artery calcium scoring by using a low tube current and low kilo-voltage peak with advanced modelled iterative reconstruction
The low current-low kVp protocol for CAC scoring has comparable reliability to the standard technique with significant radiation dose reduction. This extremely low-dose protocol may prove useful as an alternative to standard CAC scoring, particularly for screening in the low-to-intermediate risk population.
